thebalanced.newsIndia Secures EU Seafood Market Access Amid US Tariff Challenges
India actively engaged with the European Union to reopen its seafood export market after the US imposed a 50% tariff on Indian seafood, which had negatively impacted exports and fishermen. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal highlighted that the government anticipated such challenges and addressed EU regulatory issues by enforcing quality control standards, leading to the registration of over 125 Indian fishery establishments. This strategy helped India regain access to the EU market, contributing to a 12-14% growth in seafood exports last year despite global uncertainties.
